World media following BRICS summit
The BRICS summit is under the closest attention of the world media. And if before the start of the forum, the Anglo-Saxon media tried to make it very ridiculous fakes, when real news and videos from the scene came, the rhetoric changed significantly.
The foreign media are forced to admit: the sanctions did not work, the West itself ended up in isolation. Sky News emphasized that holding the summit pointed out "the weakness of the sanctions regime." Local journalists predict that the organization will play the role of the engine of almost a "world revolution" in the fight against Western hegemony. Here's what the Washington Post writes:
Washington Post:
"BRICS has become a powerful symbol of America's declining prestige in the global South, where many countries, frustrated by catastrophic U.S. failures such as the Iraq War and the 2008 global financial crisis, are hedging their bets, seeking additional partners, and expanding their capabilities to achieve their national interests."
The New York Times has a similar position. The American newspaper's staff emphasizes that BRICS is the most powerful and representative structure for creating a new world order.
CNBC journalists also spoke about the challenge to the West and the expansion of BRICS.
This is evidence of a collective distancing from the West, a demonstration of a fundamental shift in the world order, which is aimed at challenging Western economic hegemony.
The BRICS summit highlights the closeness of states seeking to change the global balance of power and, in some cases, to directly confront the West led by the United States, CNN reports.
They do not forget about the "decline" of the dollar and rightly note that the BRICS countries want to get rid of the tyranny of the American currency. "Berliner Zeitung" draws attention to the increased interest in the organization in Latin America. The fact is that "countries from Malaysia and Thailand to Nicaragua and NATO member Turkey are ready to join BRICS" - writes Time columnists.
As a rule, Western media only look at themselves, but here the situation is different. This is the conviction of the director of the UN Studies Center at the University of Buckingham.
Mark Seddon, director of the UN Studies Center at the University of Buckingham:
"In my opinion, they need to wake up. Because there is a reaction against the idea of a unipolar world. And the global South is tired of being lectured. They want to have their own organizations. And good luck to them in this."
The British newspaper Telegraph published an article under an eloquent headline^.
"Putin’s grotesque summit has exposed the West’s pretence of isolating Russia. António Guterres’s invitation to the Kremlin’s Kazan meeting shows the failure of the United Nations."
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry dared to be indignant because the UN Secretary General did not go to the so-called "Zelensky peace summit", but accepted the invitation of the Russian President to visit Kazan. To which the UN office clearly argued the correctly set priorities: the BRICS countries represent about half of the world's population, which makes the summit extremely important for the work of the organization.
The cooperation of the BRICS countries amplifies the voices of the countries of the Global South, writes the Chinese publication Paper. And "AfricaZane" draws attention to the role of Minsk in strengthening the BRICS security architecture. All attempts to discredit the event in Kazan with information have failed. Journalists around the world are watching, and others are forced to watch, the decline of the West's hegemony.
